5016-3        HOW A CARETAKER COOPERATES WITH CHILD SUPPORT SERVICES DIVISION

A caretaker relative cooperates with CSSD by:

1. Completing and signing the Child Support Information form (CSSD 1603a) for each noncustodial parent not living in the home of a dependent child;
    

2. Helping to identify and locate the noncustodial parent of each child included in the household;
    

3. Appearing at a CSSD office when requested to provide information or evidence relevant to the case;
    

4. Appearing as a witness in a court or other proceeding;
    

5. Providing information or attesting to lack of information under penalty of perjury or unsworn falsification; and
    

6. Taking any other reasonable steps to assist in establishing paternity and securing medical support.

If the caretaker relative fails to cooperate with CSSD in any of these ways and does not establish good cause for not cooperating, a penalty to the caretaker will be imposed.
